Background
Human vital sign detection involves measuring a series of physiological parameters that are indicative of the health condition of an individual. Vital signs such as respiration and heart rate are very useful in locating and managing vital health problems and the like. Heart rate measurement techniques have evolved from counting pulses to contact-based methods such as electrocardiography and photoplethysmography. Currently, millimeter wave radar sensors with low cost and easy integration make noncontact weak vital sign signal detection very promising. Multiple-input multiple-output (Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO) radar refers to multiple radiating and receiving stations. According to diversity technology, each receiving antenna element should receive different information, so as to improve the overall performance of the system, such as link quality, radar detection probability or positioning accuracy. From a processing perspective, MIMO radar allows for Digital Beamforming (DBF) at reception. However, radar echo signals reflected from the mechanical behavior of the heart (i.e. the heart beat) are complex and mixed with other stronger mechanical signals (e.g. respiration, body motion, etc.), and thus contain several different doppler frequencies that are directly related to the respiration and heart rate modes.
In the prior art, the conventional spectrum-based method for processing the radar echo signals cannot accurately estimate the frequencies, such as harmonics and cross products of the respiratory signals, so that the robust detection of the heart rate signals is complicated. And determining the position information of the tested person by using a distance selection strategy of the radar maximum echo signal and the maximum variance, so that the measurement stability of the radar is not high.

For example, bulletin numbers: the invention patent of CN111481184B discloses a multi-target respiratory rate monitoring method and system based on millimeter wave radar technology, which comprises multi-target respiratory rate signal separation and heart rate and respiratory rate extraction, and the detection of the non-contact heart rate and respiratory rate is carried out through a millimeter wave radar module, so that a fussy contact type monitoring program is avoided, meanwhile, the privacy of a detected person is not violated, the detection precision is improved, and the measurement reliability is greatly enhanced.
However, in the process of implementing the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, the inventor discovers that the above technology has at least the following technical problems:
in the prior art, other interference frequencies are mixed by processing radar echo signals based on frequency spectrums by a traditional method, the position of vital signs is inaccurately determined by a distance selection strategy of the maximum echo signals and the maximum variance of the radar, and the problem of low detection accuracy of human vital signs exists.

According to the embodiment of the application, the problem of low detection accuracy of human vital signs in the prior art is solved by providing the human vital sign detection method based on the MIMO radar and the beam forming, the initial echo signals reflected by the radiation station are received by a preset number of antennas in the receiving station of the MIMO radar in a preset time window and are preprocessed to extract the distance-angle units of the detected object, then the phase signals of the distance-angle units of the detected object are extracted and are subjected to unwrapping and differential processing, the Doppler frequency spectrum is obtained by combining a fast Fourier transform algorithm, the respiratory signals and the heart rate signals are obtained by screening the Doppler frequency spectrum, and finally the heart rate value and the respiratory value of the detected object are estimated according to the respiratory signals and the heart rate signals so as to detect the human vital signs of the detected object, so that the detection accuracy of the human vital signs is improved.
The technical scheme in the embodiment of the application aims to solve the problem of low accuracy of human vital sign detection, and the overall thought is as follows:
the method comprises the steps of receiving initial echo signals reflected by a radiation station through an antenna in a receiving station of the MIMO radar, extracting a plurality of distance-angle units of a measured object through static clutter filtering, distance dimension FFT, angle dimension FFT, distance window and angle window of the initial echo signals, extracting phase signals of the plurality of distance-angle units of the measured object, performing unwrapping and differential processing to obtain Doppler frequency spectrums, analyzing the Doppler frequency spectrums, constructing a respiration pseudo spectrum in a preset respiration frequency range to obtain respiration values of the measured object, constructing a heart rate pseudo spectrum in a preset heart rate range, and combining a reference heart rate pseudo spectrum generated by the heart rate harmonic product spectrum to obtain heart rate values of the measured object.
In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the following detailed description will refer to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
